My home looks really old but cozy. We have been taking good care of the house so that it looks really new even tho it's around 100 years old I think, and yet we still take care of the house as much as we possibly can so that it isn’t a ginormous mess and yet we love it a lot because at least we have a roof over our heads so that we don't have to worry about rain or snow or hail coming into the house at day or night. On the outside we have a fence that we started to build two months after we moved in and made the place more to our liking. And now I live in Waterloo for hopefully not too much longer. My house feels like paradise since we've been cleaning it feels better and better every time we clean it. The house is really comfortable and cozy. We’ve been living in the house for not too long and yet it's already really cozy. My bed has the softest blanket in the house on it so marshy comes to sleep with me a lot at night time. Marshy herself is really cozy and I cuddle with her all the time in my bed at night until it’s time for her to eat her food. The people in my house are my brother, my mom and me. My brother's name is Alex right now he's in grade nine. There's this system where whatever my age is is what grade Alex is in so when I was 1 he was in grade 1 so then i don't need to ask him i just have to know how old i am. My dad used to live at my house but left but i still have visits with him on weekends and i normally on a daily basis call him on my flip phone that my aunt gave me at mc donalds once with Alex. Right now i'm living in waterloo with my aunt and uncle and my youngest cousin rowan. Every year we celebrate Easter, Christmas, halloween, st patrick's day, valentines day, and each other's birthdays. We celebrate all of these events at the right times. My two favourites are Christmas and my birthday because on Christmas I don't have to go to school at all and I get presents from people and I get a lot of screens. I like my birthday because I also get presents then and i don't have to go to school at all and also i get to have screens all day and I get cake and it feels like I just can't get bullied when it's my birthday which makes me feel safe. Most of the time I feel very safe at home because in the daytime I feel like no one is going to break into the house but then at night I am far too scared to even go to the bathroom and it's all because of ladybugs. I basically have a really big fear of insects because they are very very scawy especially at night time because I can barely even see them at night even with my lamp on, filling the room with as much light as it possibly can and then I usually read a book for until I get really tired so that I can go to sleep and not be scared so in the end all is pretty good tho. :) At my house I feel very loved and I love my stuffies way too much and it's way too weird about me loving my stuffies. My most loved stuffies name is cat scratch. Cat scratch is so loved by me that cat scratch is worn out. I also love my cat Marshy a lot and she loves me a lot too. We got Marshy in Waterloo when she was really young. We also have a cat named Peaches who's an american shorthair cat and I call Peaches Peachy sometimes because I like calling Peaches Peachy since it sounds cute. And Marshy is a Bombay cat whose actual name is Marshmallow but I just call her Marshy because I usually say her name a lot so if I say Marshmallow a lot then it starts to sound really weird so I just say Marshy. (Bombay cats are these black cats that were first found in Bombay so they were named after Bombay). Marshy and Peaches can usually be caught cuddling together but it's really rare for it to happen tho which is kind of pretty frustrating but when we do see it happen then it’s really adorable and when it isn’t happening then they're probably just play fighting. I also love Alex because we're brothers and I also love my dad, mom, and a bunch of other people in my family but just not everyone in my family. My dog Winstin usually uses Marshy as a chew toy so in the end Marshy is usually pretty wet but it is kind of funny sometimes. My house is pretty much full of life and by pretty much I mean really full of life. My cousin Rowan is always playing around in the house and when Alex is over then i play with him a lot because we're brothers with different dads which is kind of funny and probably really rare. My dads name is Alen and Alex's dads name is Aaron. Every time I come home from school I play some video games and normally play roblox. If I'm not playing roblox then im either playing portal 2 or detective pikachu. If I'm not playing video games and Alex isn't over then I'm probably lying down or playing with Marshy, my cat who has amber eyes and is really adorable. Marshy is around three years old and Peaches is about eight years old. I usually play around the house alone because I'm really used to being alone for some reason. Alex once played some detective pikachu for me at my house and so we helped each other in it so basically I gave him sort of some tips for in the game and we did pretty good working together. In detective pikachu when Alex wasn’t playing with me I did get a bit stuck in it but eventually I worked around it. :) My house sounds usually loud because Rowan is usually playing really loudly but I don't be loud at all since in Mitchell the house is often really peaceful so I only raise my voice pretty high (which is yelling) if it’s necessary to do so. When Alex comes over to the house then we aren't way too loud but we can still be a bit loud or really quiet by not talking or it's just that we are talking really quietly in the house. When I play video games then i’m normally really quiet while playing my video games and i really prefer that if im playing video games that anyone watching is quiet and doesn’t ask me to many questions because if that does happen then I get really mad and might even yell at whoever is asking me to many questions because if people are asking me to many questions then it’s really hard to focus on my game. This happens a lot when Rowan is watching me play my games. What happens is Rowan starts singing or humming which is against the rules for when she is watching me play video games and then she usually asks me like a million questions which then makes me really because I can't focus on my game very much. Thank you Habitat for Humanity for giving more than 13.4 million people in the world the freedom to not be homeless. Thank you for letting me have this freedom that feels amazing
